Parque Natural de las Islas Cíes - Ria de Vigo - Galicia
Estas islas eran utilizadas para avisar la población de la costa, de la llegada de piratas y saqueadores. No existía el Faro, así se encendían hogueras y por esa necesidad de quemar leña las Cíes están cubiertas de Eucaliptos altísimos porque este tipo de planta se reproduce y crece muy rápidamente.
These islands were used to warn the inhabitants of Vigo against the arrival of pirates and looters. At the time the lighthouses didn’t exist, so bonfires were lighted. A big quantity of wood was needed and this is the reason why the Cíes Islands are covered by tall trees of Eucalyptus, a kind of plant that grows very fast.

Beautiful.
This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.
—- John Muir, naturalist, explorer, and writer (1838-1914)
